Part 2: The Reapers

The black-haired man clad in a long white coat wandered through the endless white expanse. He was all alone until he came to two figures with hooded capes and mechanical scythes. One was a young girl with black and red hair wearing a black dress, her cape and scythe were red. The other was an older man with black hair and armor, his scythe and cape were also black and he reminded the white-clad man of himself somehow.

"Ruby, Qrow? What's up guys, what are you doing here?" asked the man.

"Hey Monty, we came to see you off." said the red reaper, Ruby.

"Well, I guess you kinda fit the bill." Monty said, gesturing to their scythes.

"Heh, yeah." Ruby said, somberly.

The black reaper, Qrow, remained silent.

The three of them started walking together. They talked about all of their crazy adventures and the ones they have yet to go on.

"And then, and then I'm gonna go flying at the bad guy like woooh-chaaa, and then slice them with Crescent Rose like hi-yah!" said Ruby enthusiastically.

"I know you will Ruby, you'll do great." said Monty.

Qrow remained silent. Eventually the reapers stopped walking causing Monty to turn back.

"Why'd you stop?"

"We can't go any further. This is where we leave you." Ruby said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh, okay. Well, I guess this is goodbye. Take care Ruby, I'll always be with you." Monty said, pulling her into a big hug.

Qrow remained silent.

"What's the matter, no parting words Qrow?"

The black reaper simply shrugged.

"Oh, oh right."

Monty placed a hand on Qrow's chest and a glow passed from one to the other.

Qrow now spoke with Monty's own voice. "Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for us and everything that's waiting for us in the future."

Monty gave him a silent nod before turning and continuing his walk alone. One could swear they saw him being guided by doves and with angel wings on his back if they looked hard enough. Then, he was gone.

Ruby was now crying. "Uncle Qrow, will he be okay?"

"He'll be okay, trust me, he'll be okay."

Ruby broke into sobs. "Uncle Qrow, will we be okay?"

Qrow kneeled down and put a hand on his niece's head. "We'll be fine Ruby."

"B-but, without Monty-"

"We'll keep moving forward. Don't you feel it? We have so many people who will take good care of us from now on."

"Y-yeah, yeah you're right." Ruby dried her tears and clung to her uncle's arm as they left together. "Let's keep moving forward."

Dedicated to Monty Oum who gave us the fantastic series that is RWBY. When I first saw the initial trailer, I didn't know what to expect. Now, RWBY is one of my favorite series of all time. Thank you Monty, for the awesome series and for all of your other hard work.
